This is All right, guys, welcome back to another episode of The Simple Man Podcast. Core Four back. The core, the Four Horsemen. So, we're just gonna cut out the the sentence that you said prior to this. Yeah. 'Cause that was a really racist sentence. You don't wanna include that. The Four Horsemen. Okay, yeah, fine, we'll just leave that out then. Wow. Why are you trying to structure our pod? Uh, I'm trying to You're trying to give us structure and balance and prep. I'm trying to make this podcast grow. People are always like You're trying to keep us down. You're trying to put us in a box. When I when I say I have a podcast, people are like, oh, well, what are you talking about? I'm like, I have no idea. Exactly. And I feel like No, you should say, you should listen and find out. I can't give you that answer. Dude, if it's a, if someone that's important, I'm like, please don't listen to the podcast. But it's like, imagine it's, it's more of an educational podcast. It's like, okay, we bring in high-level, you know, guests that we wanna learn from, then then it's like, oh, we just, it's I think we do that naturally. I think we do that naturally. Yeah, but here, but now it's like, now we can identify like, oh, our podcast is four guys that wanna learn more about everything. So we bring on whoever we wanna bring on. What are you laughing about, huh? Because it's then it's not, it's not really structured, 'cause you're like learning about everything. But it's an educational thing. Like what, things that we're interested in. So then we're gonna run out, we're gonna go from The Simple Man running an educational podcast. Oh, my God. It's it's a combination Yeah, the two main reasons people watch the podcast is 100% it's educational and then the comedy aspect of it. Those are the two like only reasons that people watch the podcast. So how do we do the best, how do we become the best of that? Just be ourselves. Your turn, Nikky, tell 'em. I mean, the only like, it's pretty much what we've been doing. The only other thing that you can add on is uh bringing on guests more frequently. I think we need better guests. Yeah, or more frequent guests. I think I think the we just run through the whole UT's uh Whoa. The whole UT's uh Careful. Careful. Run what now? Uh, yeah, their whole staff. Yeah, I'll just run through. I mean, yeah, let's do that. Yeah, we got astrophysicists. Now we can get We can get somebody from their business uh courses, you know, some colleges. You know, I have we should not in my house, maybe we do like a a portable podcast. We should interview a homeless person. one time. What? Oh, what's it, what's it called? White underbelly, something like that. Something like that, something like that. There's actually on the drive, I don't know, I think when you go out of uh Atomic to hit that main road, do you go right or left? Out of Atomic, I go right. Okay, I go left and right at the first intersection, there's a guy playing guitar. He's really good. Oh, I've never stayed at the light long enough to listen. Bro, he's so good. On You gotta be on your scale or on like an objective scale? No. Hey, first of all, fuck you. Even on my scale, he he's good. He's he's really good. I was on the phone with Liam and I'm like, bro, listen to this guy. And he Liam, even Liam, even Liam was like, that's good. Even Liam. Liam's good. Fuck you. Um, bro, I mean, I can I know him pretty well. I can I can get him on. Oh, I got my car washed uh washed by a crackhead today. Where? What? He just ran up to your intersection and started doing it. No. So, I was getting a haircut and this guy came in and was like, don't worry, I'm not homeless. He looked like he was homeless. That sounds like somebody that's That's homeless. Yeah. I say the same thing. And then he was like, I'm not Jewish. Don't worry, I'm not Jewish. Yes, you are. All right, you got me. All right, all right.

He put a little piece of shit on the hood. He just threw some fucking sandpaper on your car. He walked around. I mean, I I didn't tell him, but I was thinking about telling him to come to the gym. Like not to actually train, but like, if you guys wanted your car washed for $10, I'm good. I need my car dirty. Dude, I'll do it. $10. It's so it was worth it. While I train? Yeah, exactly. That's a no-brainer. I'm doing that. You see my, I haven't washed my car since I got it. Yeah, it's dusty. It's a dusty boy. Like I was pleasantly surprised. He put Armor All on it on the tires too. Bro, come on. Where, where'd you get your haircut? What's it called again? The fucking like a car wash. What's it called? Washaroo? Yeah, I got my haircut at Washaroo. I'm not homeless.

Yeah, I fly out there on the 24th just to do the finishing touches, the last week of camp. Little touches. You're gonna be in the corner? I don't think so. I think I'm just going there like sharpen him up for the last uh last week. Get like game plan and Yeah, pump him up. Yeah. Dude, that's fucking Dude, it's a interesting style clash of styles. I think Pyfer's on the way up. Izzy might be on the way down. This is the biggest opportunity he's ever had. Yeah. Fuck yeah. Most is last time. Jojo is hungry, bro. He's he's He works like a horse, man. I think He should eat. Um He came from CFFC too. He came from a trailer park, dude. Okay. What organization did he fight? Regional? Jojo's shredded. Remember that shit? You know what I'm talking about. You're like, so how do you think about this fight? You're like, Jojo's shredded. All right, let's talk about that again. Okay, fine. All right. Jojo, go. Yeah. Um, what was your question? I think he came up from CFFC. I think so. I don't know. I think he had his first break in like uh the Contender Series after CFFC. Didn't he break his arm in the Contender Series? That's what I'm saying. His first break. Yeah, his first break. Oh, God. It was a good break. No, no, no. Do you know what we're talking about? No, no. Jojo Pyfer. So, you know Pyfer? Pull up Jojo Pyfer on your break. Dude, he gets Oh, I don't know what you're talking about either. Hold on, we gotta pull this up. So, he gets like there's like a rear body lock or he gets put in a rear body lock, gets lifted and slammed and he goes to post and his fucking arm snaps. Like his forearm or something? His elbow. Not humorous. Oh, my God, it's so it's so crazy. Okay, maybe it wasn't a rear body lock. Maybe it was a double leg. It was a double. It was a front body lock. Standing. That's what I meant. On the legs. You got Wi-Fi? Come on, what's going on, girl? Pay your pay your bills. Oh, yeah. Chihuahua. Oh, maybe he just dislocated. Okay. Dislocated his elbow. Yeah. I I'm just making shit up. I said rear body lock. I think it's a humorous. It was a bit of a grandby. Damn it. Oh, it's so bad. How do we do this shit? I mean, if he just fucking you bring it in. I don't think it was I don't think it was fully extended. I think it was like this and the pressure was going outwards. Like I don't think it was fully extended. I think it was like I think it was bent and the elbow just got pushed like that way. My guess is that it got bent and then folded. Can we play it again? He told me if it's fully extended or not. Oh. Yeah, it's like it's like here. It went like under him almost. Yeah, yeah. All their body. So, am I right or is he right? 'Cause it wasn't hyperextended. It was it was bent. I think it's hyperextended the other way. I would say like hyperextended yeah, like It was intra-flex. Like this way. It's the opposite of hyper. Retract. Hypo. Hypo. It is, it is. You're right. Hypo, it's hypo. No, but that would be that would be this. Yeah. It was like it definitely went this way. Yeah, like that. That is either way, man. That's crazy. Did he get surgery for that? Do you know? Fuck. Got breast implants? Yeah. To to fix the arm. Massive opportunity, man. Dude, he's got a great camp. There's a lot of Wait, how did he get back in? To what? He that was Contenders. He lost that. I think they just had him. I think he's like being the guy. Did he do Contenders again or uh I don't really know, to be honest. But I think he was I think he was probably winning that fight and then that that happened. We do just think this though. We have no idea. We'll take that at face value. But uh I feel like Pyfer can kind of do to Izzy what uh DDP? Uh, well, DDP No, I was thinking what Adolf did to the Jews. That's it. I don't know if he's that good. That was tough. 6 million or a quarter million? 6 million jabs. No, six. Uh, artificial artificial. You know, Wait, wait, wait. We're Strickland. Strickland. You know who wrote the history books, right? Oh, that's what we're gonna get into. This is gonna This is gonna The whole podcast is gonna be about this. Somebody call Jake Shields. He is not. Dude, see, Jake Shields should be on the podcast. I need to learn about this. I'm scared to talk to him. Dude, I don't know, man. Yeah, yeah. Maybe even take a leave of absence and we'll Yeah, yeah. Just put a FaceTime him, like you did with Bryce. I can't be here. Wait. Yeah, I feel like he'll do he'll have like a similar game as uh Strickland did with Izzy. Dude. Uh, Bryce was so funny. He's like, Hitler? Bryce, yeah. I'd go fishing with him. I'd go fishing with him. Wow. That was so funny. Um, craziness. Fuck, I was gonna Dude, how's your knee? We're talking about it before. I'm sure you're gonna give us you're gonna talk. You see that Israel uh not Israel, the the Jewish place got like there's a mass shooting or something like that? Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Was it in New Jersey or Michigan? Um, somewhere in the states. Yeah, there was like a synagogue that Israel. Oh, really? Yeah, yeah. Something like that. Synagogue. Yeah. Crazy. Um, stop looking at me. How does that make you feel? Yeah. It was like a hate crime, like a terrorist attack. Yeah, it was a full full-blown uh like Muslim thing. I think from what I I don't really I just saw the headlines, so I'm just you know. There's just fucking shooting in Austin. Yeah, that was a Muslim thing. Oh, yeah, you're right. Muslim thing. Yeah. Dude. And the May guy died. Yeah. Really? How'd you know that was That's what I was gonna say. I knew that 'cause I just I know. But not from the shooting. Yes. Oh, oh, that's not what I was talking about. He's talking about you're talking about the guy from Val. Yeah, yeah. You're talking about the guy from Val. You're talking about the guy that died in the shooting from 10th Planet. Yes. What happened? Who was he? Do we know? Like, do I know him or you guys know him? We're pretty close. We know a guy who knows him. Like, it's he was training with the 10th Planet MMA guys and He's an MMA guy. Yeah, bro. Dude, that's fucking He moved down there to pursue a career. I did actually hear about this. There's a post about it. They uh I did hear about this. From Minnesota, I think, or something like that. Like crazy state and moved to Austin and then Dude, that's fucking nuts, bro. Brutal. And then Stay drink at home, safer. Dude, I I the other night I went to go went to go went to go to I went to Insomnia Cookies at like 9:30 9:30 p.m. That's when you're supposed to. It was like a Saturday. Dude, there was so many people outside. I was hyper-aware. I was like, anything could happen here. Like I actually am the same way. I don't really like definitely just hyper-aware. But a piece of me also understands that other countries actually don't operate like that. Don't operate like what? What do you mean? Like when the Australians come, they're like, I'm always uh worried about a shooting or something like that. The Australians are constantly 'Cause they never have to worry about a shooting. And I was like, well, if you're in the you're in the UK, you worry about stabbing. There is that. There definitely is that. I don't know. It was sketchy out there, actually. I was in uh Croydon. There was a lot of like A lot of what? Say it. Say it, say it, say it. Groups of three individuals of What color? I don't know. I actually don't know because some some people just walk around wearing the chaisies. They just like walk around. They're just waiting at the bus stop in full fucking chaisies. Wow. It's like middle of Jewish. Take a while. There's just there's just a guy on social media that posts videos of him in just walking through Germany and there's just so many what's it called? Um Hellcat inclined? Mobile Phantom Mopar. Yeah. Yeah, it's crazy, huh? No, it's like loose immigration. So what did you feel? Uh, I was scared. Hellcat inclined. Yeah, bro. Like Do you guys would you guys rather I mean, you you guys don't have guns, right? No. Would you guys rather be in a place where you where you have guns or don't have guns? Guns, bro, 'cause it evens the playing field. Guns, yeah. Yeah, guns. I'm I'm for. Evens the playing field, dog. I mean, I don't care. You got everywhere. Like you you think about You think about a lady, right? No. Oh. She's got those two guns right there. That's what I'm talking about. Think about like even being a woman, girl, in grocery shopping. Like, you know, if she has a knife if If she has a knife versus a man, it's it's not You're gonna have to use that fucking knife. Dude. Versus versus the woman and a The man's gonna win still, in my in my opinion. Yeah, for the most part. You're gonna need like a spear or something. Like a javelin. Yeah. Like a a horse. And you get one. Yeah. She can't She can't. You need like a full suit of armor. Chain mail, maybe, a a pet hawk. But a gun. A gun evens evens it. Yeah, like if two people have guns, like I'd say I'd say it's better odds having them with a woman. Then one person having a gun. Well, I just mean like if a girl versus a guy and they both have have guns, I'd like the odds for the woman versus a woman with a knife and then a guy without a weapon. Yeah. Yes. The woman's gonna be like, make a sandwich. So, it's just cutting the. She's just gonna spread mayo. A piece offering. Here. It's just how you used it. Oh, the safety's on. That's what. He's talking about the knife. Oh, he's talking about the gun. I was I was spreading mayo with the gun. Yes, that's what I was. Yeah, that's what I thought. That's even funnier. 'Cause the knife is kind of all right. I guess Anyone can mix that up, of course. Like, of course. Interchangeable. Um, that's better, actually. I heard you guys talking about doing cardio right before I went to the bathroom. Are we doing cardio tomorrow? Yeah, Nikky's in. He's in. Dude, let's go. Why not? Why? I'm doing my own cardio. Dude, you're not doing shit, bro. No, no, no, no. It's way way better. You gotta listen. All right. Tell tell him what we did. It's fun. It's fun. Here, tell tell him what we did yesterday. Right. Yesterday, before we did cardio, the night before, I had a dream. That a black That a man had not been judged by the color of his skin, but by the color of his That's a fucking Ali you friend. I was just Not by the color of his skin, but by the color of his skin. All right, come on, God. All right, we do 20 push-ups, 50 bodyweight squats, 50 cal on the on the assault bike and 20 on the rower. I do 30 on the rower, 'cause I'm bigger. Uh, three rounds and you you look the first to win. First one to finish wins. And it's fucking hell. It's gruesome. It was fun. But at the end, You're on top of the world. You're just like you scaled the Everest with your boys and you freaking made it. Plant that flag. Tell tell us about your zone two cardio. What are you doing? Nah, I just had ChatGPT write me up a cardio plan. Oh, really? What'd it say? I've done this. Yeah. Really? Uh, C4 and big plates. Uh, C4 and heavy weights. And explosive traits. At some impressive rates. Strong like primates. You'll say, ah, great when your deadlift dominates. Was that good? No. It was incredible. Unbelievably bad. But this, this is good. Are you feeling stuck? Most guys just accept feeling stuck. Stress, low energy, bad sleep, like it's normal, but it's not. So stop feeling stuck, fix the root issues and start living like you used to. Yeah, it says uh, it's like uh three days a week of like harder cardio. Uh they say max like uh it's like between 10 and 20 minutes. Um, and then the other days is just like low intensity zone two. So when you when you go all balls to the wall? Those ones now. You said harder, not the hardest. Uh, well, no, there's like three days a week here. I've done this ChatGPT write out a few times. You follow it? I definitely hit zone five. Bro, zone five. You gotta go harder. You have to. Monday, it says uh 20 seconds all out, minute 40 easy, eight to 10 rounds. Tuesday, uh 30 to 45 minutes easy. Um, Wednesday uh is five to six rounds of uh five minutes hard and then one minute easy. Um, That's gonna be a tough one. Yeah, and then Thursday is uh low intensity recovery. It's 25 to 35 minutes very easy, like keeping the heart rate low. Friday, it's 40 seconds hard, 20 seconds easy, uh 10 to 12 rounds. Okay. You're doing that. It's good. You're doing all of this. Yeah, it's good. I'm I'm about to start. I literally had it write it up a cardio thing today. Oh, sick. Um, And what did you do this morning?

And then Sunday is He's going sideways. He's going, oh, I'm getting tickled. I'm so uncomfortable. There's just a guy like this. I'm very uncomfortable. How much time is left? Fuck. And then it says Sunday is uh full recovery or like a 20 to 30 minute walk. When you're in shape, come compete with us. Yeah. We'll do a one one comp. Just come tomorrow. Just come do it with us tomorrow. No, I'm gonna stick to a plan. Yeah, let him get let him get in shape and then when he's ready, he'll hop in with us. All right. It's just fun to do competition, right? We compete with the That's the only reason I'm I'm trying to win. Yeah, yeah. And this fucking cunt. Sorry. You ran Yeah, you're like, I won. Oh, it's so funny. So, I wouldn't have said anything. I know you wouldn't have. Liam said it. So, we're we're all ripping the assault bike, doing this fucking thing. And like, for the most This is the third this is the third one, the last one. Third one. I think for the most part, we were in the lead like right away, but it was I was right behind you, though. We were like neck and neck for a bit. And then I started to to really peel away from from the whole group. I'm like, fucking pushing it. Liam, Liam. Fuck you. Liam, well, you go. And then So, yeah, like I'm really I'm just pushing as hard as I fucking can. I'm I'm in first place for the entire time. And then this the station, right? It's it's 20 second or 20 push-ups, 50 bodyweight squats, 50 calories on the assault bike. Jump squats. Jump squats. Yeah. And then 50 on the assault, 20 on the rower. And we're on the last set and I'm ripping this assault bike, fucking going as fast as I can. And then I hit the 50 calories and I get off. I'm like, let's fucking go. I fucking won. And I'm like, walking in circles. The guys are are on the assault bike. I hear you saying this. I'm like, I thought there was another thing after. I'm like, thank fucking God. And then I do it for like maybe 10 seconds and Liam's like, bro, you still have the rower. And then I'm like, fuck. And then Nikky Rod's already running to the rower. I'm like, and he was like, gotcha, bitch. He said gotcha. He didn't say it. He didn't say it. But like, he was just We're just in competition. So, Could not talk at this moment. Yeah, it was. And you wouldn't even if you could, you were like, yeah, good job, bro. Yeah, I did, bro. Good job. So then we're fucking going there. Oh, Sal, sorry, I see you calling me. We gotta talk big business, but it's okay. Um, and now we're racing on the fucking rower. He does have to do 30 calories, but it's like every time he pulls, he's hitting like three calories, bro. It ended up evening out perfectly. It was a good one. Yeah, yeah. It was a good one. I finished like just like a fucking half a second before you. Yeah, like I Yeah, literally, he finishes, then I have to get like one more pull and then he fucking wins. And then uh you you push it hard, bro. You went to the fucking garbage almost. Yeah, yeah. The last like two two pulls, I was like dry heaving while I was pulling, then I heard it. Yeah, then uh you and Liam were fucking I mean, I was close. You were close. You you well, you guys finished. Yeah, fuck you. But then I beat you on the second one. Hey. Oh, dude, the second one. Okay, so first, after we do that whole thing, you guys recovered really fast. That's right. We've been doing it for We got the lungs, my guy. 'Cause wait, wait, so I finished I was like, I remember you finished. I had like I was at eight and I had another 12 to go. And then uh we chilled a bit. And then uh so the next one We're outside just like Yeah. dry heaving, chilling, now recovering. Just breathing. Just breathing. And then I'm like recovered. And then I was like, we do another 10 rounds on the assault bike. Fuck yeah. And then fucking Ethan Ethan, you were like, all right, fuck it, let's do it. And then Nikky Rod and Liam were Liam didn't say anything, but Nikky Rod was like, all right, I guess so. Yeah, you're not gonna not do it. Yeah, yeah. No, Liam was like, guys, come on. Bro, just Bro, Liam. Dude, Nikky, so we're on the assault bike, right? And like, we're after the bodyweight squats, your legs are on fire. And we're fucking pushing it. And I look over and Liam has his two feet on the bars and is just using his He's like, he's like, this in his head, he's like, my legs are tired, so if I just use my arms. I'm next to him. I'm like, looking at him, is that the way to That can't be right. I'm doing this. And he's like, yeah, it wasn't the way to do it. He's walking down the steps and could barely walk. He's like, He's like, this is real. This is real. I'm not faking this. It's crazy 'cause he can squat a lot of weight, but it's like how the reps are different. The maintenance. Yeah. It's different. And then uh Yeah, yeah. We do the 10 Oh, fuck, the 10 calories. Okay, so not the 10 calories, the 10 rounds. So, we do sprint for 20 seconds, coast for 40 seconds. And then the goal is to get the highest calories. We did that for 10 rounds. Yeah, yeah. And uh 10 minutes. 10 rounds. Sorry, 10 minutes. Yeah, yeah. And the entire time, so it's like, we call the first one. I'm always like, maybe one or two calories ahead and I'm starting to peel away a little bit. And we call out the calories after each sprint. We're like, 150 or whatever the fuck, right? Yeah. He'll be like, 150. I'm like, 152. Yeah. Every time I'd say I'd like call out like, I'm at 90. He's like, 91. I'm like, you fucking piece of shit. I was like, okay, I'm gonna go a little harder each each rest and try to fucking catch up. And each rest, I would make sure I got to whatever number you said, so I at least got like a few extra. And then by the end, I'm like, I heard you go like, 150. I was like, 151. I'm like, I'm doing it. I'm doing it. I fucking made it. And then during the rest, I would look and I'd have to make sure that I wasn't going I'm slower than you. I saw every revolution. I'm like, I'm not lagging behind on the fucking rest. I can do it. Yeah. And then the last one, I was like, I'm emptying the fucking tank and I'm winning. I stood up. I stood up. I was Dude. So, the last one, I'm like, one or two calories ahead and I'm like, this motherfucker's not catching me. So then the sprint goes. I start fucking ripping it. Like, we have to sprint for 20 seconds. About like five seconds in, I start fucking almost puking. I'm like, I'm like, fuck. And I see my RPMs, 'cause during the sprint, I'm at like 90 RPMs for a bit. And I try to hold that shit. I see it start going down. 85, 75. I'm like, oh, fuck. I just I'd say it every every time I sprint, I'm like, 90, 91. Oh, and then I look away for a second and I look back. It's like, 88, 87. No, no, no, no, no. And it's as hard as you could possibly fucking do it. And anyway, So long story short, I got like 150, 2, 3. Yeah, and I got 151. Yeah. So, we made it. But um, the recovery, though. Recovered fast. I was ready to do another one. We're getting we're getting more. Do you do the same exact thing again or switch it up? I so I think same exact thing. You're saying same. You're saying switch. So, the reason we're pushing it so hard because we all want to compete with each other, right? But we also don't know how to pace ourselves. Like, I feel like we can kind of cheat it a little bit if we know how to pace ourselves. But if we don't know how to pace ourselves and we're competing, we're just gonna go balls to the wall. So, you're saying that's what we should do. I kind of think so. Okay, but don't you wanna do the the same exact one? We all know what we did. Now, including the pacing, let's see what we can It's kind No. What? Well, I mean, I will I'm down to what am I gonna say? Fuck. We'll do the same thing. One more time? You gotta say no to anything. Yeah, yeah. The thing is, it's just fucking it's kind of scary now that I know how bad it is. I know what I'm getting into. Bro, I'm telling you, I just cranked the music and distract myself. I just roll down the windows, drive as fast as possible. Don't think about it. You're saying going going into the I'm going into Atomic. I'm like, I'm not thinking about this for one second. No, it's it's right before we start. I have like pre-comp nerves almost. I'm like, I'm nervous as shit. Fuck, this is gonna really. Like, hey, how's your day?

If you watched Naruto, it would be every Everyone it would be everyone's favorite. I gave it a try. It's like a lot there's a lot of filler. You gotta admit. For sure, for sure. Look up the filler list. Yeah, but like I'm telling you. So, you need to look You don't have to do that with AOT. You do that with almost every other anime. Not AOT. Especially shonen anime, like Dragon Ball has a a shit ton of filler. Oh, yeah, I mean Dragon Ball. What is filler? Uh, it's just episodes that don't useless shit. Yeah, it's not important to the main storyline. Gotcha. But like, bro, Naruto is I'm gonna give you the the rundown. It is basically this guy or this kid that isn't is like kind of dumb, whatever, we'll say. But his character is that he'll work like harder than everyone else and will never give up on his word and will become Hokage, which is like the best ninja in the fucking village. And it is as a kid, I'm seeing this. I'm like, oh, my God, this is my ninja way. I'll never give up. Um, so when you guys ask for cardio, Naruto comes to my mind.

Slytherin. What are you? I've never seen it. What? You guys should watch it. Oh, shit. Never seen. I should take this. Yeah, I have also been ignoring important phone calls. No, 'cause uh interest rates are going down, so I wanted to see if there's a refinancing like. They're going up. Interest rates are like fucking seven and a half percent right now 'cause of Iran. That's what I'm hearing. You're shot, brother. I just 'cause fucking gas is so expensive. Gas is like almost twice as expensive right now. My my uh mortgage company quoted me 5.5%. What? Mortgage company. Uh, I forget the name of it. That's why I just I'll just call. Yeah, yeah. Only BJJ mortgage. Uh, mortgage index rate. Damn, am I getting ripped off? Well, let us see. It went up a little bit, but the average is 6.4. everything except the um I think I'm around there. I'm like I'm like roughly six. Yeah, I got this guy this uh company quoted me 5.5. Yeah, I take uh Mancha home sometimes. Yeah. When it's bad traffic, yeah. It's right above Buda. It's like I don't know. I think I'm like 10 minutes from Buda. Yeah. If I keep going south. Yeah. Yeah. Are you like towards the end of Mancha? Uh, middle. Oh, you're probably super close to them. So, did I just miss what you guys were talking about? So, yeah, I bought I bought a house. I'm just waiting to like that's What? I'm just waiting for I'm just waiting for my money. Yeah. Um, yeah, I'm waiting for a good interest rate 'cause I'm being told it's like seven and a half fucking percent right now. But anyway, that's another. Well, 'cause you have a different type of loan, that's why. Yeah, but yeah, that's another thing. But um, yeah, it's it's close to you guys. It's uh Mancha. What kind of loan? Can you say? Uh, it's either gonna be a bank statement loan or a 1099. 1099 would be better, but I don't know yet. Yeah. I don't know. Be a real. It's 'cause you're in off. What? What are you getting? What's your interest rate? Well, if I were to do it now, it would be seven and a half percent, which is very high interest rate. That's high as fuck. Yeah. But he like I'm being told to just wait a bit and Yeah, yeah. I mean it changes every day. Yeah, so there you go. It's gonna go up to. Yeah. I'm sorry. Come on. What? Called Trump. Called Trump. Yeah, I'll be like, he'll be my brother. Come on. I am. Come on. What did you just do? What did you just do? This guy. No, I didn't. It didn't happen. Didn't happen. What's happening? That's nice. What else is going on? I don't know. You wanna talk about your match from your perspective? Yeah, I asked you and you just didn't. Yeah, he just like something else. Yeah, I guess uh I think I just made some not great decisions. My game plan was was not the best against this opponent. I thought I was gonna just like wrestle up and that didn't work. And then when I circled back to just what I'm best at at the round at the third round, I just like dominated. So, if I go back, I would just just do some wrestling. Just wrestle from the get-go. I was like I was like, you watch it or no? Yeah, you were surprised. For me, I thought I thought my I thought I was gonna have a better ability to wrestle, but then I realized my my guard playing is really it's uh it's reactive. And this guy wasn't giving me much action. So, until I develop an active, like an offensive guard, then Wrestle take him down. I guess so. Yeah. I don't know. What do you think? Something like that. Yeah, I think game plan-wise would be to um just wrestle the the whole time and and tire him out. Um, especially a guy like that who's he's like very good at kind of just doing just enough to win a round. Yeah. Um, the best thing is to just try and smother him and like uh, yeah, cause as many scrambles as possible so he gets tired. Strategy. Oh. Stack on black. Oh, dude. Yeah. For all the gamblers out there listening, uh, when it's hot, you strike. You hit it hard. Dude, we started off with three or 500 bucks, right? Bro, I started with 100. Started with 100 bucks. We we played craps for a little bit. Played craps for a little bit, made some money and then we switched randomly. We never played this, but we switched to Roulette. Ooh. And Russian? We switched to Roulette and we started playing Roulette and J Rod is just putting 100 bucks on black. And he's like, he's like, we're only doing 100. If we lose, we're out. And we're like, all right, fuck it. We put all we all put 100 on. We win. We're like, all right, fuck it. Let's do it again. Win again. And we're like, all right, now we're up we're each up like two or 300 bucks. Well, we were up we were up like two or 300 bucks from craps first. Okay. And then we go play Then you switch to Roulette. So, it's just real like you you put it on black and then you spin, you throw the ball and if it lands on a black. We don't do it. They do it. They they spin, throw the ball and if it lands on a black, everyone puts on black ones. Yeah, yeah. And double your money. And then the odds it's like 48% that it lands on black and the other Yeah. It's not purely 50/50 'cause there's a green. So, it's like it's even red, black, but then there's a green. Okay. And what happens if it's green? You lose. You lose. You lose. You lose. So, essentially, like, every now and then we'd win and then we'd double. We'd put like 200. Then we put 300 on on on black. And dude, black kept coming out to the point where my first big hand, Damian's like, kinda he like goes to the bathroom or something like that. And while he walks away, I'm like, fuck it. I have 600 bucks. It's all profit. I just put it on black. I hit. I'm like, what is happening? I come back and he he he's holding 1,200 bucks in his hand. And I'm like, no fucking way. How do you not like I'd be my heart would be racing. I'd be running out the door. I'm I'm sitting there like this, drenched. Fucking sweat. But I'm I'm super calm, but just my internals were on fire. And then like I like we all J and and Damian start winning and I and I get up to like maybe 1,500 bucks. I'm like, fuck it. 1,000 bucks on black. It comes out. I fucking hit. I was like, what? Dude, and I'm I must have won like I mean, it's 50/50. Like, it's not I guess 48%. 48%. It's not unlikely. Bro, I put I put like three 1,000 hands on black and they all hit. Dude, I was up, I think, how much you have at the height of this? At the I think I had like $5,000 from like 500. Yeah. And then I then I lost 4,000 and I left with 1,000. That was the first time. So, that was the first time. You lost four Yeah, yeah. Lost four grand like three times. Oh, that would hurt. So, that time Dude, I can't tell you how much fun it was. I went to bed dreaming. I'm like, I'm like, fucking. 'Cause it was all dreaming. Again, it's all the boys. So, we're all together and we're all putting it on black. And then we're seeing this fucking thing roll. And then we all win. We're like, let's fucking go. It's crazy. That sounds so fucking fun. So fun. Would you do this shit? Nah. Bro, a couple hundred bucks. Couple hundred bucks. A couple hundred. Actually, he might get addicted to it, to be honest. Oh, yeah, for sure. I'm so serious. You really? I might get addicted to it. I have an addictive personality. I'm not gonna start gambling. Dude, honestly, I'll give it a shot. I can't I can't. I do too. For sure. Yeah, yeah. I mean, that's also why. Why give this guy an e-bike? You don't even use it. I do. Where? Have you ever used it?

I gave it to you. He gave you like thousands of dollars. I was shocked. I'm like, are you sure you're Well, somebody gave it to me, so I gave it to you. I'm gonna sell it. Yeah. I think so.
